                               INTRODUCTION


     This report presents the results of testing for fugitive VOC  (Volatile
Organic Compounds) emissions at the Texaco Paradis gas plant, Paradis,

Louisiana.  The testing was performed by Radian Corporation on February 9

through February 27, 1981.  This work was funded and administered  by the
Emission Measurement Branch of the U. S. Environmental Protection  Agency.

The purpose of this testing was to develop data to be used in support of

New Source Performance Standards for onshore production facilities.


     The specific objectives of the test program were to:


     1)  conduct a screening survey using a portable analyzer to
         obtain equipment type inventories and leak frequency,

     2)  collect process information for each source including
         service, composition in the line, seal orientation,
         elevation, and accessibility,

     3)  conduct a limited parallel screening survey using a
         soap scoring procedure for comparison to portable hydro-
         carbon analyzer screening results, and

     4)  perform emission measurements on selected sources that
         exhibit inconsistent results between portable analyzer
         screening and soap scoring, and for those source types
         where previous data are limited.


     The following sections present a summary of results,  a description
of the process configuration, the testing methodology, and the sampling

locations.  A full listing of the data and other supplemental information

are included in the appendices.

-------
                                 SECTION 2
                            SUMMARY OF RESULTS

     This section presents a summary of the fugitive emission data  gathered
at the Texaco Paradis gas plant.  All data are presented in the appendices.
Appendix A includes a more detailed listing of the mass  emission sampling
data, as well as an explanation of all coding conventions used on the  field
data sheets.  Appendix B includes copies of the field data sheets.

     The gas plant screening results are presented in Tables 2-1 and 2-2.
Table 2-1 presents the distribution of VOC concentration readings for  each
source type, while Table 2-2 presents similar information for soap  scores.
These tables also give the population results by source  type.

     The results of the baggable sampling are presented  in Table 2-3.   The
mass emission rates are presented in kilograms per day for each source type
in terms of both methane and nonmethane hydrocarbons. The sources  were
rescreened both before and after sampling.  The mean value of the rescreening
is also presented in Table 2-3 for both the OVA and soap scoring.  The
original screening value is presented along with screening values taken
immediately before and after sampling in Table 2-4.  These data also present
paired values for VOC concentrations and soap scores so  that a comparison
of the two survey methods can be made.

     It should be noted that the source type called flanges actually
includes a variety of pipe—to—pipe connections including threaded fittings,
unions, and compression-type tubing fittings.  Welded joints were not  in-
cluded in this survey.  The "other" category represents  a group of  sources
that were too few in number to warrant separate listing.  Included  in  the
"other" category were sight glasses, vacuum breakers, meters, pig traps,
control valve diaphragm vents, and thermowells.

                                 SECTION 3
                            PROCESS DESCRIPTION
     The Texaco Paradis gas plant removes natural gas liquids by the prin-
 ciple of refrigerated oil absorption.  The complex includes three absorption
 systems, each with multiple absorbers, which treat gas for sales to intra-
 state markets, interstate markets, and United Gas Company.  Natural gas
 liquids removed by these absorption systems are combined and separated into
 products by a single train fractionation system.

     The largest of the three absorption systems, the intrastate system, was
chosen for testing along with the fractionation train.  The intrastate system
was treating 450 MMSCFD (million standard cubic feet per day)  during the
testing period, which was near the rated capacity of 500 MMSCFD.  The total
capacity of all three absorption systems was 800 MMSCFD.

     A simplified schematic diagram of the intrastate absorption system and
the fractionation train is shown as Figure 3-1.  The feed gas  is cooled by
heat exchange, routed to the bottom of the absorber, and contacted with
chilled lean oil.  The treated gas is removed from the absorber overhead,
warmed through heat exchange, and routed to sales.  The rich oil (lean oil
plus absorbed natural gas liquids) is heated and routed to the demethanizer.
The demethanizer overhead is split between local fuel and a recycle to the
raw gas inlet.  The rich oil is then stripped of all absorbed  liquids in the
rich oil still, cooled,  and returned to the absorbers.

     The natural gas liquids coming from the rich oil still overhead are
cooled and routed to deethanizer feed.  Each column removes one light product
(ethane, propane, isobutane, and normal butane) and routes the heavier
                                     24

                                 METHODOLOGY

     The fugitive emissions testing at the Texaco Paradis gas plant included
both "screening" and "bagging" operations.  Screening is a generic term
covering any quick portable method of detecting fugitive emissions.  Both
instrumental screening (using the Century Systems OVA-108) and soap scoring
were used in parallel on this task.  Bagging refers to a quantitative emission
measurement achieved by enclosing the source in a Mylar® shroud and analyzing
an equilibrium flow of air through the enclosure.

     The instrumental screening was done according to the procedures speci-
fied in EPA proposed Method 21.  Method 21 only requires the exact concen-
tration to be recorded if it is over the leak definition specified in the
applicable standard, but since this effort was more oriented to regulatory
support than to regulatory monitoring, the maximum screening value was
recorded for all sources.

     The soap scoring method was modeled after a method used in screening
fugitive emissions from petroleum production facilities.   The soap solution
was prepared from 100 ml. of rug shampoo (HR Professional Formula) mixed with
a gallon of either distilled water or a mixture of distilled water and
ethylene glycol.  The solution was applied using a common garden sprayer.

      Each source was sprayed with soap solution, being sure to coat all
 areas of potential leakage.  A careful inspection was then conducted to
 detect any bubble formation.  A soap score was then assigned based on the
 estimated bubble volume generated in a six-second observation:

           Soap Score                      Estimated Bubble Volume
               0                           No detectable bubbles
               1                           0 to 1 cc/6 sec.
               2                           1 to 10 cc/6 sec.
               3                           10 to 100 cc/6 sec.
               4                           >100 cc/6 sec.

      The screening methods outlined above were used on every accessible
source except for flanges.  Only 20 percent of the flanges were screened
because of their large population.  Sources screened included valves, flanges,
pumps, compressors, open-ended lines, drains, relief valves, and many other
miscellaneous sources.  The survey was conducted on a line-by—line basis to
minimize the time required to obtain process data, such as the composition
and phase of the material in the line.  A few sources were not screened due
to either physical inaccessibility or safety problems which prevented close
approach, but these sources were recorded on the data sheets to insure that
a complete source inventory was obtained.

      Bagging procedures were carried out according to methods developed in
previous refinery testing.   The leaking area of the source was completely
enclosed in a shroud of Mylar® plastic to contain any emissions.  A flow of
dilution air was induced through the enclosure by the sampling train shown in
Figure 4-1.  The enclosure seal and the flow rate were varied to achieve a

  slight,  but  measurable,  vacuum on  the  tent  to  insure that all emissions were
  contained.   A cold trap  was  provided to  collect any heavier components which
  might condense in the  downstream lines.  The flow rate was measured with a
  dry gas  meter,  at which  both temperature and pressure were measured to allow
  a conversion to standard conditions.   The discharge of the vacuum pump was
  monitored with an OVA  to determine when  steady-state conditions had been
  established.   At that  point,  a Tedlar® sampling bag was filled from the dis-
  charge of the small Teflon®  lined  diaphragm pump.  The sample bag was then
  analyzed for methane and total non-methane  hydrocarbons on a Byron THC
  analyzer (GC/FID with  backflush after  methane) .  The THC was calibrated daily
  with a mixture of 728  ppmw propane and 263  ppmw methane in zero air.

      Noncondensible mass emissions from  the source were then calculated from
the bagging data by  the following equations:

                         = Kl DF (P - AP) M  (CT - CA)                     1
                                    460 + T

where E  = noncondensible hydrocarbon emission rate in kg/day,
      KI = 2.99 x 10 5 (a conversion constant)*
       D = dry gas meter (DGM) correction factor,
       F = flow rate in actual cubic feet per minute,
       P = barometric pressure in inches of mercury,
      AP = differential pressure at the DGM in inches of mercury,
       M = molecular weight of the measured gas ,
      C  = hydrocarbon concentration in the sample in
      C. = ambient hydrocarbon concentration in ppmw,
       A
       T = temperature at the DGM in °F.

The molecular weight (M)  was calculated:
                                         - CT
                                86      29

*The field data were taken in English units.  This factor includes appropriate
 metric conversions as well as an adjustment to standard conditions of 60°F
 and 29.92 inches of mercury pressure.

-------
 The emission rates for either the methane or the non-methane fractions can be
 calculated by the above equations by using the appropriate value of methane
 or non-methane concentration for C  in equation (1).  If any organic condensate
 was collected in the cold trap, its contribution to the emissions was calculated
 by:

                                              Z                            (3)
 where IL = condensible emissions kg/day,
       SG = specific gravity of the condensate (used 0.75g/ml. if there was
            too little to measure the specific gravity) ,
        V = volume of condensate collected in mis,
        t = time of collection in minutes.
     1.44 = units conversion constant, from g/min. to kg/ day.

The total hydrocarbon emissions would then be:

                            ET = EGM + EGNM + EL                          (4)
where   E  = total hydrocarbon emissions in kg/day,
E   = methane emissions in kg/day,
„_. = non-methane hydrocarbon emis;
 EL = condensible hydrocarbon emissions in kg/day.
      E    = non-methane hydrocarbon emissions in kg/day,

                             SAMPLING LOCATIONS

     The Texaco Paradis gas plant is a large and complex gas  processing
facility.  It would have been impossible to conduct a complete fugitive emis-
sion survey of such a large plant within the existing time and cost  constraints,
This section will explain what portions of the plant were screened and sampled.

     As mentioned in Section 3, the'Paradis plant includes three independent
absorption systems followed by a single natural gas liquids fractionation
system.  The bulk of the testing reported here was performed on the  "intra-
state" absorption system and the fractionation train.  The intrastate system
was chosen for testing because it was the largest system, and it most closely
balanced the size of the fractionation train.

     The intrastate absorption system itself was still too large for com-
plete screening, so the screening survey was limited to one of three parallel
absorbers which made up the intrastate system.  No screening was done on the
Freon refrigeration system.  Complete screening (except only 20 percent of
flanges) was performed on the one absorber, the lean oil system, and the
fractionation train.  The screening survey also excluded the ethane  amine
treaters and the propane molecular sieves.  Although the debutanizer was not
running during the test period, it was screened since it was  filled  with
product and under pressure.

     Instrumental screening was performed on all the sections described
above.  Soap scoring was conducted in parallel to the original screening for
the first nine days of testing.  When it became necessary to start simultan-
eous bagging and screening, there was insufficient manpower to do soap scoring
on the original screening survey.  Soap scores were still taken during
                                     32

-------
rescreening on all sources which were bagged.  This resulted in soap scores
being taken for about half of the sources screened (mostly in the absorption
and lean oil systems) and all of the sources bagged (except where soap  scoring
was physically inappropriate, such as on moving seals or large open-ended
lines).

     The objectives of the bagging effort were to concentrate on those
sources where existing data were scarce or where there was an inconsistency
between the instrumental screening results and the soap scoring.   This  re-
sulted in the following priority for source sampling:

     1)  compressor seals,
     2)  relief valves,
     3)  pump seals,
     4)  sources with inconsistent screening values,  and
     5)  valves.

No sampling was done on flanges or open-ended lines since the existing  data
base covered them adequately.

     There were no compressors associated with the intrastate absorption
system because it was fed by relatively high pressure gas fields.  A large
number of reciprocating compressors were available on another system, so
16 of these sources were sampled to increase the compressor data base.

     Despite a high priority, only one relief valve was sampled.   This  was
due to either physical inaccessibility, venting to a flare header, or a
remote location with no utilities to operate the sampling train.

     A total of 17 pump seals were sampled.  This included all pumps
found to be leaking in the original screening survey.
                                     33

-------
     The remainder of the sources sampled were valves in the absorption
and fractionation system screened.  These sources were selected either be-
cause of screening inconsistencies (about 20 valves)  or to fill out a matrix
to provide a range of data with which to develop screening value to leak rate
correlations (about 56 valves).
